wow im just speechless. I was never a titans fan, but always respected his playing ability. He was never a ball hoggin trash talking QB. he just played the game the right way IMO.

If you rotate the view you can see some pretty nice condos on that corner.

Bendal: The area around 2nd and Lea in Nashville is not where you'd expect a multi-millionaire NFL QB to be hanging out; it's definitely not well developed and there are plenty of low-income government housing nearby. Not saying he didn't have his reason for being there, only that it's not where you'd expect to see someone like him.

/wife grew up in Nashville
//she says that's the druggie part of town



Doesn't look that bad on Streetview

Sounds personal. Like either she shot him and offed herself or he stole some homey's girl and the other guy took offense.

HIs brain age proabbly was.


Yeah, he was headed for a very ugly life very quickly from both a physical and mental standpoint. As in Earl Campbell-meets-Meldrick Taylor-ugly. This is crass, but this is one less PR hit that the NFL will have to take down the road (and not too far).

Because you can take the n---a out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the n---a. ie Michael Vick

been living hear in the Vandy section of west nashville - the area where he got popped isn't very nice... but there are some new, nice condos there where he was shot. Its just like a lot of cities in America, run down downtown is getting reborn so you get the hybrid areas in town.

Its just a few blocks from the main tourist strip downtown where everyone will be for the fireworks, and just across the river from Titans' stadium

AnnoyingKidNextDoor: I've always hated the Titans, but McMair seemed like a good dude. God rest his soul.

I was thinking the other day, this is like a sporadic apocalypse, all these people dying in droves. I know they're celebrities, but they're dropping like flies all of a sudden. I've had some personal losses as well recently, so as far I am concerned, this stupid year can hurry up and be over with.


Kinda like 1998....

Must be one of them ~10yr cycles or something.

Lies. There are no black people or women on the internet.

It's science.

It's bad enough. I did some recording with my band a few years ago just down the street. Lots of hookers and drug-related shiat going on.

Have you seen Daly lately? He had a lap-band installed and has dropped a ton of weight. Seems like he's getting his act together.

His death is probably another byproduct of todays black community. Some thug that's part of a gang that wants to make a name for himself. To these POS, killing a high profile person and gaining "street cred" is a positive goal and gives their hell worthy soul direction.

Yep, indeed. He was a damned good QB, no Prima Donna bullshiat like Vick, Manning, etc.

 
Bender The Offender 2009-07-04 06:11:48 PM  
Fark, just like the Klan without the effort of sewing sheets or hopping in the pick up with cleetus and jimbob for the cross lighting. McNair was a class act and a decent human being.
